No, their overton windows stabilized around the most prevalent and workable systems that were supported by their era.

Edit: you’re implying violence is required to shift the overton window to the left. While I agree that waiting for the death of the last generation guarantees movement forward, the most harmonious option is to finally learn to adapt at the pace of technology without becoming quagmired in king of the hill exercises that’re recidivistic.

You have a pretty defeatist understanding of the term "workable."

I never implied anything of the sort.

I forthrightly state out loud that the use of force is absolutely necessary to move anything left.

While I agree that waiting for the death of the last generation guarantees movement forward,

Agree? With whom? I never said I buy into this esoteric and ageist liberal claptrap of blaming everything on older people.

the most harmonious option

Fuck harmony.
